Camera inside fingertip

Hello everyone, 

I have a question about some guy who has a camera module inside his finger.

Recently there was an event called campus party in Berlin and there was a cyborg who is colorblind and has a camera attached to his head that he uses to translates color into sound. Soon this camera, or at least the base of it, will be attached to his skull-bone.

I try to find a video of his talk in english, so far I could only find it in spanish (I think it's spanish): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_efOu2crwOc

In the english version I attended he showed a picture of someone having a camera in his finger and distinguishing him from being a cyborg since there was no "implant - brain interaction". Since that, I've been looking for more information about that camera, but couldn't find anything, so I'm asking you guys: Does anyone know anything about this?

   For what it's worth, yes; that talk's definitely in Spanish.  I can understand it well enough, so I'll watch it later, and see if the camera guy is mentioned on there.

   I didn't see the camera guy mentioned anywhere in the Spanish talk.
